Becoming an air traffic control assistant

[Marving]

I know there's relevant info on this subject elsewhere in the forum, but I'd like some guide as to what the entry qualifications are for people wishing to become air traffic control assistants.

For example, how many GCSEs or A levels are needed? Also, which subjects are preferred, if any?

Also, I have a rough idea of the typical working day of an ATCA, but if anyone on here is doing the job and could give me a fuller picture, it would be most appreciated.

I'm asking a lot I know, but any feedback would be great.

Thanks
